The Zephyr (Take It Slow)

[Chorus]
Take it slow, take it easy
Take it any way you can
Take it all, take it freely
Take it like a man
Take it down the lonesome highway
Down the lonesome railroad track
Take it any way you want to
But never take it back

[Verse 1]
Some people have such neat houses
All of their flowers in a row
No surprises in their closets
Nothing the neighbors do not know
And that's why God made railroad ties
To keep the flowers in their place
And that's why God made railroad watches
To keep the rats in the racе

[Chorus]
Oh, take it slow, take it easy
Takе it any way you can
Take it all, take it freely
Take it like a man
Take it down the lonesome highway
Down the lonesome railroad track
Take it any way you want to
But never take it back

[Verse 2]
Some people lead such neat lives
No screaming in the hall
No prescriptions in their pockets
No crutch called alcohol
And that's why God made the corporate ladder
To make the others feel so small
And that's why God made Jacob's ladder
So we can all climb the walls

[Chorus]
Now take it slow, take it easy
Take it any way you can
Take it all, take it freely
Take it like a man
Take it down the lonesome highway
Down the lonesome railroad track
Take it any way you want to
But never take it back

[Verse 3]
Some people pay such neat dues
To the devil or their boss
At the crossroads, at the station
Or at the stations of the cross
And that's why God made the Burlington Northern
Atchison, Topeka, Santa Fe
And that's why God made railroad whistles
So we can blow it all away

[Chorus]
Take it slow, take it easy
Take it any way you can
Take it all, take it freely
Take it like a man
Take it down the lonesome highway
Down the lonesome railroad track
Take it any way you want to
But never take it back
